AMERICA'S MILITARY FULL SPECTRUM DOMINANCE POLICY

ALSO KNOWN AS "FULL SPECTRUM SUPERIORITY", THIS IS THE POLICY OUR PENTAGON, OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DECIDED TO ADOPT MANY MOONS AGO.

IT SIMPLY MEANS THAT THE USA FULLY INTENDS, AT WHATEVER COST, TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN CONTROL OVER EVERY ASPECT OF THE 'BATTLE SPACE'.

WHAT DOES THAT INCLUDE?

EVERY LAND AREA, THE SKIES ABOVE THE LAND, THE OCEANS AND NAVIGABLE RIVERS, LAKES, WHEREVER A SHIP CAN GO, THE OCEANS' DEPTHS, SPACE, THE CONTROL OF THE MINDS, THOUGHTS OF THE 'ENEMY', THE ABILITY TO CREATE PSYCHOLOGICAL EVENTS, CAUSE FEAR, EMOTIONAL CHAOS, THE CONTROL OVER BIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL WARFARE, CONTROL OF CYBERSPACE, CONTROL OF THE WEATHER, THE "ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM", THE MEDIA, HOW INFORMATION IS TRANSMITTED AND RECEIVED, WHAT INFORMATION IS BLOCKED, WHAT INFORMATION IS MANIPULATED, CONTROL OF ALL COMMUNICATION MEANS.

IT JUST MEANS THAT AMERICA INTENDS TO ABSOLUTELY, UNEQUIVOCALLY DOMINATE ALL ASPECTS OF "WAR"...AND WAR GETS REDEFINED AS IT SUITS US.

THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE (DOD) HAS A SHORT DEFINITION OF FULL SPECTRUM SUPERIORITY:

"The cumulative effect of dominance in the air, land, maritime, and space domains and information environment, which includes cyberspace, that permits the conduct of joint operations without effective opposition or prohibitive interference."

BEFORE 9/11, BEFORE WE SELECTED USAMA BIN LADEN AS THE BIG BAD BOOGEYMAN, OUR MILITARY, WHETHER AFTER A NIGHT OF DRUNKEN REVELRY OR AS A RESULT OF DROPPING A LITTLE ACID, MAYBE, OR, IF WE GO BY ITS TITLE, AFTER SMOKING A FEW...???...CAME UP WITH A NEW DELUSION, I MEAN, "VISION".

THEY DID A NICE LITTLE 'PAPER' ABOUT THAT VISION...<CUE TRUMPETS AND DRUM ROLL, PLEASE...>

"JOINT VISION 2020" ...TAAA DAAA!

LET ME JUST GO BACK AND UNDERLINE "JOINT"...OKAY...ONWARD.

ONCE UPON A TIME, ONE COULD CAN READ ALL ABOUT IT AT THE FOLLOWING THREE WEBSITES...NOT ANYMORE, AS YOU WILL SEE BY THE ERROR MESSAGES YOU GET WHEN YOU TRY.http://www.dtic.mil/futurejointwarfare/

As a result, many URLs have changed, and the requested resource was not found.

THAT'S OKAY, WE CAN STILL FIND IT, AND THAT WE CAN FIND IT IS A PROBLEM THAT RENDERS FULL SPECTRUM DOMINANCE A MOOT POINT...WE HAVE ACCESS, AND THAT NEGATES THE WHOLE PLAN.

IF YOU TRY LINKS FOR "JOINT VISION 2010", SAME STORY...DEAD ENDS. 404 ERRORS.SO, HERE'S AN ONLINE PDF OF THE "VISION" AND THERE ARE OTHER SOURCES FOR IT, BUT THIS CAME UP AT THE HEAD OF THE LIST, SO..."JOINT VISION 2020" , PDF

AT THE END OF THIS POST, I TRIED TO PASTE A FEW PARAGRAPHS FROM THAT PDF BUT WHAT A MESS THAT MADE, SO THAT'S WHY THOSE PARAGRAPHS ARE AT THE END.

ONE SENTENCE THAT STRUCK ME AS RATHER TELLING, AS TO WHY THE OLD INTERNET IS A CURSE TO "DOMINANCE" WAS THIS:

"We will not necessarily sustain a wide technological advantage over

our adversaries in all areas.Increased availability of commercial satellites,

digital communications, and the public internet all give adversaries new

DID YOU KNOW THAT RAYTHEON, WHO HAS BEEN HAULED UP FOR MORE VIOLATIONS THAN I CAN COUNT SHARES THE FEDERAL CONTRACT TO PRODUCE THIS?

"This August, the US Missile Defense Agency (MDA) awarded contracts to fund research and development for the Multi-Object Kill Vehicle (MOKV).

Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing were awarded approximate U$10 million contracts by the Pentagon to design a prototype for the MOKV, “a concept that can destroy several objects within a threat complex by considering advanced sensor, divert and attitude control and communication concepts,” according to a MDA press release.

The Pentagon has previously tried its luck on a similar endeavor, the Multiple Kill Vehicle (MKV) program. The Defense Department terminated the program back in 2009 over what then Defense Secretary Robert Gates called: “Significant technical challenges and the need to take a fresh look at the requirement.”

JUST ONE OF MANY NEW TOYS TO HELP ACHIEVE "FULL SPECTRUM DOMINANCE".

A kill vehicle keeps people safe by destroying an incoming missile before it reaches its destination. It is the part of an interceptor that strikes an incoming warhead, using force of impact alone to limit effects on the ground. All of today’s major U.S. missile defense systems use the hit-to-kill force-of-impact technology pioneered by Lockheed Martin in Sunnyvale.

EVER HEAR OF "PROJECT FOR THE NEW AMERICAN CENTURY" (PNAC) ?WHAT A PIECE OF WORK THAT WAS/IS! IT WAS THAT LITTLE GROUP THAT ACTUALLY GAVE US THE GRAND IDEA OF "FULL SPECTRUM SUPERIORITY" IN A FORM THAT COULD BE SOLD TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

Founded in 1997, it was a 'neoconservative think tank" based in Washington D.C.

It created quite a stir, so the name was changed in 2006 and it was carried on by the original 'founders', William Kristol and Robert Kagan

Twenty-five "thinkers" signed the founding statement and 10 of those, including old smiling Donald Rumsfeld, 'Darth' Dick Cheney and another narcissistic egomaniac, Paul Wolfowitz went on to help shore up Junior Bush in his, ummm, administration.

Those 10 really worked their butts off to sell the Iraq war to the American sheeple people and did a bang-up job.

The MAIN reason this "think tank" was created?To slime Bill Clinton.No, really.

Kristol and Kagan believed the Republican Party lacked a "compelling vision for American foreign policy," which would allow Republican leaders to effectively criticize President Bill Clinton's foreign policy record.

"...they argued that American conservatives were "adrift" in the area of foreign policy, advocated a "more elevated vision of America's international role," and suggested that the United States' should adopt a stance of "benevolent global hegemony".

(SEE Maria Ryan. Neoconservatism and the New American Century. New York: Palgrave Macmillan. ISBN 0-230-10467-3 and also William Kristol and Robert Kagan, (1 July 1996). "Toward a Neo-Reaganite Foreign Policy". Foreign Affairs.BE ADVISED, that PDF can be a real bother.)|access-date= requires |url= (help)

Stuart Elden has stated that "The influence that PNAC had was astonishing", and noted that...

"The number of figures associated with PNAC that had been members of the Reagan or the first Bush administration and the number that would take up office with the administration of the second President Bush demonstrate that it is not merely a question of employees and budgets."

They were pulling Junior Bush's strings with all their might, you see.

They screamed for a "regime change" in Iraq, huge increases in defense spending, cried that PNAC's principles were necessary "if the United States is to build on the successes of this past century and to ensure our security and our greatness in the next".

And, they added, " we need to accept responsibility for America's unique role in preserving and extending an international order friendly to our security, our prosperity, and our principles."( Elliott Abrams, et al., "Statement of Principles", June 3, 1997, newamericancentury.org)

AMERICA,, THEY SUGGESTED, NEEDED A "NEW PEARL HARBOR" TO PUSH THE POPULACE TO ACCEPT WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST!A section of Rebuilding America's Defenses entitled "Creating Tomorrow's Dominant Force" became the subject of considerable controversy.

The passage suggested that the transformation of American armed forces through "new technologies and operational concepts" was likely to be a long one, "absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor"...

"Before September 11 the ideologues were hindered in implementing their strategy by two considerations: George W. Bush did not have a clear mandate (he became President by virtue of a single vote in the Supreme Court), and America did not have a clearly defined enemy that would have justified a dramatic increase in military spending.

September 11 removed both obstacles.
President Bush declared war on terrorism, and the nation lined up behind its President.

Then the Bush Administration proceeded to exploit the terrorist attack for its own purposes. It fostered the fear that has gripped the country in order to keep the nation united behind the President, and it used the war on terrorism to execute an agenda of American supremacy. That is how September 11 changed the course of history.

In effect, the doctrine establishes two classes of sovereignty: the sovereignty of the United States, which takes precedence over international treaties and obligations; and the sovereignty of all other states, which is subject to the will of the United States.

This is reminiscent of George Orwell's Animal Farm: all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."

Several journalists like John Pilger pointed to this passage about a "new Pearl Harbor" when he argued that the Bush #2 administration had used the events of September 11 as an opportunity to capitalize on long-desired plans.

NO! REALLY?YOU THINK, MAYBE...SURELY NOT!

OTHERS WENT A STEP FURTHER IN SLAMMING THE ILLUSTRIOUS THINK TANK.Writing in Der Spiegel in 2003, Jochen Bölsche claimed that Rebuilding America's Defenses "had been developed by PNAC for Rumsfeld, Cheney, Wolfowitz and Libby," and was "devoted to matters of 'maintaining US pre-eminence, thwarting rival powers and shaping the global security system according to US interests"...It amounted to global American hegemony.

The outrage continued... British MP Michael Meacher agreed, stating in 2003 that Rebuilding America's Defenses was "a blueprint for the creation of a global Pax Americana," which had been "drawn up for" key members of the Bush administration.

Peter Dale Scott, Canadian diplomat and academic, wrote:“[PNAC’s] ideology was summarized in a major position paper, Rebuilding America’s Defenses, in 2000. This document advocated a global Pax Americana unrestrained by international law." GASP!

"We have no choice but to re-instill in our foes AND FRIENDS the FEAR that attaches to any great power.... Only a war against Saddam Hussein will decisively restore the AWE that protects American interests abroad and citizens at home".

SHUT UP!

REALLY?

The Strategic Studies Institute' s Jeffrey Record in his monograph Bounding the Global War on Terrorism, Gabriel Kolko, research professor emeritus at York University and author of Another Century of War? (The New Press, 2002), in his article published in CounterPunch, and William Rivers Pitt, in Truthout, respectively, argued that the PNAC's goals of military hegemony exaggerated what the military can accomplish, that they failed to recognize "the limits of US power", and that favoring pre-emptive exercise of military might over diplomatic strategies could have "adverse side effects".

WOW! DID IT EVER!

IT GAVE OUR MILITARY HEADS THAT "VISION 2020"!

IT PUMPED UP THE BIG PUSH TO FUND AND RE-FUND AND OVER-FUND THE PENTAGON'S WISH LISTS UNTIL EVEN

Paul Vallely, a retired major general and senior military analyst for the conservative news channel FOX, told the 'Surprise, Arizona, Tea Party Patriots' during a Dec. 3 speech that other retired military personnel and veterans groups had contacted him about the possibility of a coup.

“I had a call this afternoon from Idaho, the gentleman said, ‘If I give you 250,000 Marines to go to Washington, will you lead them?’” Vallely said as the group laughed and gasped.“I said, ‘Yes, I will, I’ll surround the White House and I’ll surround the Capitol building, but it’s going to take physical presence to do things.”

[NOTE: THIS WAS RECORDED.]

THE VERY LAX SECURITY AT THE WHITE HOUSE IS LIKELY NO ACCIDENT, NO OVERSIGHT.PLENTY PEOPLE WANT OBAMA GONE, DOESN'T MATTER HOW.AND IT DAMNED SURE WAS NOT ABOUT BENGHAZI.

The Republican House Armed Services Committee report concluded that,

“There was no ‘stand down’ order issued to U.S. military personnel in Tripoli who sought to join the fight in Benghazi,” AND THAT REPORT ALSO EXPLAINED THAT "the Defense Department did, in fact, begin spinning up assets immediately", contrary to accusations.

REPUBLICANS SAY SO, MUST BE TRUE, RIGHT?

THERE'S STILL A CHANCE FOR THE PENTAGON...

IF DARPA AND THE FEDERAL LABRATORIES CAN JUST RUSH ALONG THOSE "CYBORGS" AND THAT MIND CONTROL STUFF, MAYBE SOME BETTER BIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL WEAPONS, AMERICA'S MILITARY MAY YET HAVE A FIGHTING CHANCE.

IF THEY CAN JUST GET BOOTS ON THE GROUND IN SYRIA IN LARGE NUMBERS THAT WOULD HELP THEM HANG ON, BUT OBAMA IS FIGHTING THEM ON THAT AS WELL...

The Pentagon is now engaged in a Vietnam-style escalation of boots on the ground across “Syraq”. 50 commandos are already in northern Syria “advising” the YPG Syrian Kurds as well as a few “moderate” Sunnis.

Translation: telling them what Washington wants them to do.

The official White House spin is that these commandos “support local forces” (Obama’s words) in cutting off supply lines leading to the fake “Caliphate” capital, Raqqa.

Another 200 Special Forces sent to Iraq will soon follow, allegedly to “engage in direct combat” against the leadership of ISIS/ISIL/Daesh, which is now ensconced in Mosul.

These developments, billed as “efforts” to “partially re-engage in Iraq and Syria” are leading US Think Tank Land to pen hilarious reports in search of “the perfect balance between wide-scale invasion and complete disengagement”– when everyone knows Washington will never disengage from the Middle East’s strategic oil wealth.

All these American boots on the ground in theory should be coordinating, soon, with a new, spectacularly surrealist 34-country “Islamic” coalition (Iran was not invited), set up to fight ISIS/ISIL/Daesh by no less than the ideological matrix of all strands of Salafi-jihadism: Wahhabi Saudi Arabia.

Since mid-2014 the Pentagon has run all manner of war games – as many as 16 times, under different scenarios – pitting NATO against Russia.

All scenarios were favorable to NATO.

All simulations yielded the same victor: Russia.And that’s why Erdogan’s erratic behavior actually terrifies quite a few real players from Washington to Brussels.

Let Me Take You on a Missile Cruise:The Pentagon is very much aware of the tremendous heavy metal Russia may unleash if provoked to the limit by someone like Erdogan.

Let’s roll out an abridged list.

Russia can use the mighty SS-18 – which NATO codenames “Satan”; each “Satan” carries 10 warheads, with a yield of 750 to 1000 kilotons each, enough to destroy an area the size of New York state.

The Topol M ICBM is the world’s fastest missile at 21 Mach (16,000 miles an hour); against it, there’s no defense.

Launched from Moscow, it hits New York City in 18 minutes, and L.A. in 22.8 minutes.

Russian submarines– as well as Chinese submarines– are able to launch offshore of the US, striking coastal targets within a minute.

Chinese submarines have surfaced next to US aircraft carriers undetected, and Russian submarines can do the same.

A former adviser to the US Chief of Naval Operations essentially goes on the record saying the whole US missile defense apparatus is worthless.

Russia has a supersonic bomber fleet of Tupolev Tu-160s; they can take off from airbases deep in the heart of Russia, fly over the North Pole, launch nuclear-tipped cruise missiles from safe distances over the Atlantic, and return home to watch the whole thing on TV.

Russia can cripple virtually every forward NATO base with tactical – or battlefield – small-yield nuclear weapons. It’s not by accident that Russia over the past few months tested NATO response times on multiple occasions.

The Iskander missile travels at seven times the speed of sound with a range of 400 km. It’s deadly to airfields, logistics points and other stationary infrastructure along a broad war theatre, for instance in southern Turkey.

NATO would need to knock out all these Iskanders. But then they would need to face the S-400s – or, worse, S-500s — which Russia can layer in defense zones in nearly every conceivable theater of war. Positioning the S-400s in Kaliningrad, for instance, would cripple all NATO air operations deep inside Europe.

And presiding over military decisions, Russia privileges the use of Reflexive Control (RC). This is a tactic that aims to convey selected information to the enemy that forces him into making self-defeating decisions; a sort of virus influencing and controlling his decision-making process. Russia uses RC tactically, strategically and geopolitically. A young Vladimir Putin learned all there is to know about RC at the 401st KGB School and further on in his career as a KGB/FSB officer.
